Atlanta places of interest

According to travel guides, Atlanta, capital of the federal state of Georgia, has played an important part in the history of the USA since the city was founded in the mid-19th century. Because of its role as a trading point and railroad hub in the Southern states, Atlanta was fought over fiercely during the American Civil War and was finally burnt to the ground. After being rebuilt, Atlanta quickly developed once again into an important city with many interesting tourist attractions. A number of these are connected with Atlanta’s most famous son, Martin Luther King, who is mentioned in all the travel guides. However, the Olympic Stadium and Zoo Atlanta are also well worth a visit!
